Too little too late and not sincere in any stretch of the imagination.
It's ridiculous that people living in the UK from early childhood stemming mostly from commonwealth countries have to deal with this in any way, they are owed UK citizenship simply by the place of their birth in the former UK colonies, not to mention that immigrant's from outside the British realm can achieve British citizenship after living, working and paying tax for a decade making the treatment of this part of the British population even more ridiculous and scandalous then it already was.
Mind you,...other European countries with an prolific colonial past don't treat their citizens from their respective former commonwealth countries in this manner. These people are afforded full citizenship from the outset, countries like France, The Netherlands, Belgium, Portugal and Spain have a much better track record on this.
Hence it's even more shocking to learn how the UK treats 2nd and 3rd generations descendants of these commonwealth "immigrant's" to the UK in that same disgusting manner as they do the 1st generation.
The message is and has been these many decade's that:" We will take your labour, your tax, your innovation, your youths contribution to the state, your service to the British armed forces but don't expect to be treated as an equal in Britain's society because, that is simply not cricket old boy."
One word,..... disgusting. ❗
